Description Still working on it, but this is what I've got so far. I love it. This was a valentine's day present for Jen. I have a video that shows off some of the parts I used in making it: [link]

It kind of looks like a Ghostbusters device. Sonic Screwbuster?

I LOVE this! I wish I had the technological skills to make a functioning original sonic screwdriver of my own!

The black and silver made me think "lightsaber" but that's the only part I guessed. Great work - especially the fact it lights up!

That's why I wanted to keep the lightsaber part the original colors. People recognize the black/silver. It's easier to point out what the original parts used were if people can see them and go "oh NOW I see the lightsaber!" If I was going to do a second one, I would probably use a hammered metallic color like bronze or anodized aluminum.

Also, the lights come with the lightsaber part. Check out the video to see the sonic screwdriver's guts! [link]

oh goodness this is beautiful--it's like the inside of Eleven's TARDIS, with faucets and duct tape and printer parts.

Hahaha yeah. Those are the best kinds of props: all haphazard and wonky, but still working!

Thanks! There's a lot of things you can do with some glue and a box of parts!

Yeah I think it's the decals that make it Ghostbuster-esque.

You should see if you have the toothbrushes over there by you and see what you can come up with!
